I don't think tose shots are forced as of the last 20 games. He goes to the line quite often now because those shot are called "aggression". The refs do reward him when he is aggressive, and somehow they see the laziness and call the quick fouls. I don't see him as a shot blocker. For one he doesn't leave the ground on defense at all. If he didn't have exceptional reboounders like Lee and Frye beside him, his 7 boards could be 10. He doesn't have to do it alone thats all.

Ive seen him throw up some pretty bad shots, although not often. But what im saying is I dont think that sould ever happen. But for the most part when he gets the ball, expect some points or a defensive foul.
